Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The Minister is working with the companies to help families who are in difficulty, and in particular those who are in arrears, by establishing hardship funds and making sure there will not be disconnections. That is over and above the measures we have taken to increase the fuel allowance for the working family payment cohort and to increase it more generally. The Minister has engaged with the companies in respect of those who are in arrears and particularly in terms of having no disconnections throughout the winter period.
